If you are searching for a grade 11 maths exam for term 1, scientific or literary, start by knowing the units of each bank, then practise them. This guide covers three Palestinian-curriculum grade 11 maths banks, their real units and one worked example from each.
Grade 11 Mathematics (Part 1): six units
- Unit 1: Statistics and probability (scientific research, data collection, probability sampling, discrete random variable, expectation, binomial distribution).
- Unit 2: Sequences and series (arithmetic and geometric, and the sum of each).
- Unit 3: Index numbers. Unit 4: Equations and inequalities.
- Unit 5: Limits and continuity. Unit 6: Financial mathematics (payments, instalments, interest, risk).
Sequences example: an arithmetic sequence with first term 3 and common difference 4. The 10th term = 3 + 9 × 4 = 39 and the sum of 10 terms = (10 ÷ 2) × (3 + 39) = 210. Geometric: first term 2, ratio 3, so the sum of 5 terms = 2 × (3^5 − 1) ÷ (3 − 1) = 242.
Grade 11 Mathematics (Literary): four units
- Unit 1: Equations, inequalities and linear programming (from one linear equation to graphical solutions and applications).
- Unit 2: Statistics and probability. Unit 3: Arithmetic and geometric sequences.
- Unit 4: Limits and continuity.
Example: solve x + y = 5 and x − y = 1. Adding gives 2x = 6, so x = 3 and y = 2. Check: 3 + 2 = 5 and 3 − 2 = 1. Binomial: 3 trials, success probability 0.5. P(exactly 2 successes) = 3 × 0.5² × 0.5 = 0.375 and the expectation is 3 × 0.5 = 1.5.
Grade 11 Mathematics Scientific/Industrial (Part 2): four units
- Unit 4: Probability and statistics (probability distribution, expectation, binomial, standard score, normal distribution).
- Unit 5: Sequences and series. Unit 6: Conic sections (parabola, ellipse, hyperbola).
- Unit 7: Limits and continuity, including Bolzano's theorem for the scientific stream.
Example: a student scores 70 on a test with mean 60 and standard deviation 5, so the standard score is z = (70 − 60) ÷ 5 = 2. For the parabola y² = 8x, 4p = 8 gives p = 2 and the focus is (2, 0).
In limits, do not just substitute when you get 0/0. Factor or cancel first: the limit of (x² − 4) ÷ (x − 2) as x approaches 2 equals the limit of (x + 2), which is 4.
How EXAMEV helps
On EXAMEV the Part 1 bank has 679 questions, the Literary bank 801 and the Scientific/Industrial Part 2 bank 799, in these types: multiple choice, true/false, fill in the blank, short answer, matching, ordering, multi-select and advanced questions, each with an explanation. Start with a 25-question practice, then a timed exam of 21 questions in 50 minutes, then the full exam of 42 questions in 120 minutes, and read the explanations after every attempt.
